Chapter 41: An Lin Exploded

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Countless golden rays dazzled brilliantly as they erupted from An Lin’s fingertip.

This power, which he had lost all control of long ago, was about to surge from his finger!

An Lin’s face contorted as he tried in desperation to stop himself.

At the same time, he roared in his mind.

Stop! Hurry up and stop! At least… don’t strike Wang Xuanzhan!

Perhaps it was due to his strong desire, or perhaps it was due to him roaring in his mind. Regardless of which it was, the rays of light on his fingertip suddenly dimmed and started to quickly scatter.

An Lin was momentarily dazed. However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a remaining strand of golden light—which was like a strand of silk—streamed out from his finger…

It pierced through Wang Xuanzhan’s head, yet it didn’t do him any damage.

Immediately afterward, it came into contact with the ground behind Wang Xuanzhan.

Boom!

A vast amount of power erupted and the entire earth started to tremor!

The golden light was akin to a godly sword which shone brilliantly, and it tore through the earth, ripping out a fissure tens of thousands of feet in length.

The untainted power of the Great Dao obliterated everything in its path and the small mountains which lay on its path were all annihilated!

Before long, the power dissipated completely and tranquillity returned.

Staring at the endless ‘rift valley’ in front of him, An Lin was transfixed with amazement.

Wang Xuanzhan had a lifeless expression on his face. After sensing that the suffocating pressure around him had disappeared, his eyes rolled up into his head and he passed out completely…

…

After the radiance of the earth-shattering finger disappeared, the tens of thousands of students on White Jade Plaza felt as if a giant weight had been taken off their shoulders.

Right at this moment, someone started yelling as they stared intently at the screen.

“Quick, look over there! What’s that?!”

Everyone looked towards the screen. After the dust settled, the scene which greeted them caused them to draw a sharp breath.

They were dumbstruck as they looked towards the scene which lay before their eyes. A gigantic chasm had appeared in the earth and it stretched tens of thousands of feet. It was pitch-black and abysmal, and even the sunlight was swallowed up, unable to illuminate the nethermost. It was like a scar on the earth, terrifying in its hideousness.

Even Earth Immortals of the Soul Formation Stage couldn’t wield such devastating power, let alone cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

It was only after a long time that some students started to recover from their shock.

“This is the might of An Lin’s move from just now?” they stammered.

Countless people raised their heads to gaze upon the figure who stood there, looking proud and majestic.

He had a look of nonchalance on his face and his white daoist robes fluttered about in the wind. He appeared obscure yet overwhelming.

Was it really him?

Regardless of whether it was the unconscious Wang Xuanzhan or the shocking chasm in the earth, all of these instilled a feeling of surrealism in the students.

Pan Buyu slapped himself viciously, yammering, “I’m definitely dreaming, I’m definitely dreaming…”

Soon after though, the students accepted this reality.

As the proverb says, seeing is believing.

Through the screen, tens of thousands of students clearly saw how An Lin had used that finger. This definitely couldn’t be faked. Moreover, they had been able to experience the terrifying nature of that finger even through the screen. How could it be fake?

Thereupon, a fanatical glow appeared in the eyes of many students as they looked toward An Lin.

Furthermore, some female students even had a look of adoration in their eyes as they gazed at the figure on the screen.

“Ah! So, it turns out that it’s actually he who is the most supremely talented amongst the new cohort of students!”

“B*llshit! He’s already the most supremely talented individual of our entire university!”

“Even though Student An Lin possesses such remarkable abilities, he remained indifferent when he was labeled and spread as the most networked backdoor entrant. Such temperament is indeed worthy of respect and admiration!”

On the plaza, An Lin suddenly became a raging topic for discussion.

The students became more and more animated as they talked amongst one another and eventually, Student An Lin was enveloped in a shroud of divinity.

Even Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng, amongst others who were well acquainted with him, felt as if they had just met him for the first time.

Furthermore, Liu Dabao bragged towards those beside him, telling them of how he had fought on even terms with An Lin in the past.

…

Gradually, the topics of discussion started going awry.

“Kya! An Lin, I want to bear your children!”

“An Lin’s mine! You go away!”

“Everyone has the right to chase after An Lin. We should compete fairly!”

“Okay, okay. I’m a student in An Lin’s class. Those who want an intimate date with An Lin; males over to this side and females over to that side. I’ll make a record and pass it along to him…”

An Lin’s exceptional charm worked on both males and females, and everyone was especially enthusiastic.

Right at this moment, an anonymous person yelled loudly and everyone instantly became quiet.

“All of you, stop arguing! An Lin’s already together with that white-furred dog. Have you guys forgotten about the Gallant Human and Dog Duo?!”

The moment this was said, everyone came to a realization.

“That’s right! That white dog cooperates so well with An Lin when they’re fighting. They fight together, they go through thick and thin together, they’re bound so tightly with one another. Only the two of them can be a pair!”

Hearing this, Zhao Huaiyin—who was standing in the corner—wept in the toilet till he fainted.

However, there were still many fans who were unwilling to give up. They all looked toward the white dog on the screen coldly as plans formed in their minds…

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, Da Bai suddenly felt a cold chill shoot through his body and he sneezed involuntarily.

What’s with this sensation? Is there another enemy?!

Da Bai’s expression changed and he glanced around. However, he couldn’t find anything.

He looked toward An Lin and realized that he was still standing in the same spot gracefully. He couldn’t help but yell, “Woof! Although you’re very powerful, you’ve held this pose for a long time. Haven’t you had enough of posing like this yet?”

Do you really think that I want to keep this posture?!

An Lin wanted to speak to Da Bai yet he was completely unable to open his mouth.

He had no feeling in, or control over, his body right now. This circumstance was exactly the same as that of when he used the Finger of the Heavenly Dao.

…

Up in the sky, Earth Immortal Cang Qing had absolutely no idea what expression he should wear when facing An Lin.

Was this person really the student that he was familiar with? He could probably kill him with a jab of his finger!

Earth Immortal Cang Qing turned his gaze toward Vice-principal Yu Hua. However, he discovered that Yu Hua’s expression was not so different from his own.

Rather, Vice-principal Yu Hua appeared to be even more shocked than him and he still hadn’t regained his senses.

Earth Immortal Cang Qing continued recording data.

Wang Xuanzhan—Combat Capability: 1200; Achievement Score: 8100; Note: Defeated by An Lin.

An Lin—Combat Capability: …

When he recorded up to An Lin’s data, his finger trembled. He turned to Vice-principal Yu Hua for help. “Principal, may I please ask what I should write for An Lin’s combat capability?” he asked quietly.

Vice-principal Yu Hua started to regain his senses after hearing Cang Qing speak and he looked at the teacher next to him. “Cang Qing, even at this moment you’re still thinking of recording data. I’m very touched by your dedication to work…” he sighed.

“However, if Student An Lin released the full power of that finger just then, perhaps he could have split the entire floating continent into two. Even I don’t know how to evaluate such combat capability!”

Hearing this, Cang Qing was once again dumbfounded.

What?! An Lin still hadn’t used the full power of that move?!

The full power of that move can split this continent into two?!

“It can’t be that An Lin is a True God in disguise and came to amuse himself at this school out of pure boredom, right?”

Cang Qing felt as if he had almost been frightened to the point of tears. Is this really a f*cking student? He’s definitely not a student, right?!

At this moment, Vice-principal Yu Hua suddenly looked down toward An Lin uncertainly. “There seems to be something wrong with An Lin,” he said.

…

“Ding Ling!” There was a chime in An Lin’s mind and a notification appeared.

“Congratulations! You have successfully fulfilled the mission condition, ‘be worshipped by ten thousand people’! Officially activating Divine Might!”

He was slightly stupefied. He had classified the condition necessary for mastering the ‘Divine Might’ ability as the most impossible to fulfill. How come it was suddenly fulfilled now? What on earth happened?

Then, before he could even wrap his mind around it, he felt his entire body start to swell.

“Ding Ling.

“Detected that the host is currently receiving backlash from the Heavenly Dao. Activating defensive mechanism…”

An Lin was startled. What backlash from the Heavenly Dao? Could it be the after-effect of the move from just then?

At this moment, a heart-wrenching pain washed over his body. This was a pain of indescribable intensity, and it was as if every cell in his body was being torn apart.

Right at this moment, he felt that his body was becoming more and more swollen, almost as if he was going to explode.

Bam!

An Lin exploded!

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of students and right before Vice-principal Yu Hua’s eyes, his body exploded into a vast cloud of blood.

Like a large red flower in full bloom, the thick cloud of blood filled up the entire space…
